’d say I’ve gotten more practical less idealistic about work over time because being an “expert” in the field doesn’t mean that I can build a good company. It doesn’t grant that immediately. Over time I’ve had to loosen my idealism about meditation and just focus more on the nuts and bolts of marketing of building technological systems of integrating those systems and providing good service to people. Just the basics of business — like having a two-year cash flow a good budgeting system and good relationships with investors — and all of the different dimensions and aspects of business that are their own skills. Meditation can support those skills but they don’t translate one-to-one by any stretch of the imagination.
